Description:

- Digital+Nomad

- The word "nomad" which is frequently used now does not literally mean a wanderer. Its meaning has been extended to a free, creative, and challenging way of thinking or lifestyle ever since a French philosopher, Gilles Deuleuze mentioned "nomadism" as a philosophical term in 1968 in his book.

As the world increasingly becomes broadband, mobile, and digital, a new consumer, called the "Digital Nomad," is emerging to take advantage of those trends. Nomads have four primary needs. They want offerings that are convenient and economical. They want control over the media presented to them, and they want mobile extensions of their existing media uses.
